- Sadly there is no cure for Down Syndrome but there are ways to help the medical conditions caused by it. It is recommended that patients with DS have regular checkups to the doctor to help check or regulate any conditions. If problems do arise then surgery or medications may be needed and your doctor will recommend what action to take. Also enrolling your child into a school that specifically helps children with DS can provide a safe environment for your child. You can also talk to the teachers and have your child go through therapy if you choose to do so.
